Information provided by the Levada Center, which is currently declaring an 82% approval rating for Putin.

Gonna go ahead and say that this isn't a reliable statistic.

Putin is a dictator, and a terrible fascist leader, but he does legitimately have a high approval rating, mainly because you can't go against him without putting yourself in trouble. I would not say that that means an unrelated question isn't reliable, especially because Putin is a fascist and the USSR was Socialist, if anything it's anti-putin to want the USSR back,

That... isn't legitimate.
